Identifying The Hens In Your Flock That Aren't Laying Eggs

Not every hen is productive, and there can be a number of reasons why she isn't laying eggs. It can often be difficult to determine who is pulling their weight...and who the freeloaders are. Steve & Brian have lots of tips for identifying which hens aren't laying.

My darling 8 yo is still laying, bless her heart. I can tell by the color and shape which eggs are hers, and those of her flock mates. This isn't so hard when you only have a few (7)- I don't imagine I'll know whose eggs are which when my young layers (15) get rolling. Chickens are just such good animals to have around, pleasant and friendly.

I don't concider any of our non laying hens free loaders. They still help keep the flea, tick, mice, snake & other pest populations down & produce fertilizer for the compost pile, which in turn, goes in the vegie garden. 😊

We have some older girls, that my daughter has named, and they will stay with the flock til death.

I have it easy. I have five hens who each lay different color eggs. So I always know who is laying and who isn't 😂

I have 9 hens, I put in solar lights for the winter and upped their protein to 16%, and never had more than 2 fewer eggs. Now it's warm, I'm getting 8/9. The one may not be getting enough protein. The size of eggs are larger too.

LOL! I only have 4, I know which one is the freeloader. She's my lil' angry bird Easter Egger (she has no tail feathers, small, and really sweet)..

I have a mixed flock of 6 hens and I know which bird lays what egg. Adding 5 more hens soon and will know who lays what with them as well. But this was some good information. Thanks

This is a little difficult for me, I have chickens of all different ages in my flock. I keep track of when I bought each one, I buy them in groups of three or more. So I mostly go by age. They are all molting at slightly different times, cycling through their egg cycle at different times, etc. So, even though one hand is not laying at this particular time, she will probably start laying again in a couple weeks. So I go by age mostly. I don’t want to get rid of a chicken just because it’s not the right time in her egg cycle. It also helps to have different breeds of chickens that lay different colored eggs, etc. Then you can take a quick survey, for instance, I have three Easter Eggers that lay green eggs and I can tell pretty quickly when I look if they are laying the eggs or not.

That was a great video! Very useful information and I wondered about this myself. I was looking through your videos to see if you had a simple coop design for someone who has never done construction, building, used any serious tools other than a hammer and screwdriver. Please! Budget friendly would be ideal.
